Welcome to the Re-Launch

Check it–> I have been blogging for NINE years! That’s right, 9!

For most of those 9 years, my mom was my biggest fan (and she still is!), but I finally decided I wanted to put a little more effort into this and put myself out there in the blogging world. I starting reading all these blogs created by people who seemed pretty similar to me–passionate, full of ideas, and with no desire to stick to the status quo. They have crazy successful blogs and I thought, “if they can do it, why can’t I?”

This idea was scary to me. The thought of putting myself out there is WAY outside of my comfort zone. Further outside of that zone then “pack-up-and-move-7000-miles-around-the-world-to-an-island-no-one-has-heard-of.” That was easy. Believing that I have something to say that someone other than my mom might want to read, not so easy.

But I believe I have this gift- I love to write. I have scores of journals documenting every day of my life for years. I am passionate about things I want other people to know about. And really, how many dreams ever get fulfilled without hard work and a lot of risk-taking. So after an awesome consult with the ever-amazing Lauren (check her out at The Mad to Live) I dove in head first! I signed up for a domain name, re-vamped my blog, spiced up the theme, added some awesome pages to highlight who I am and what I am passionate about, and decided that I was going to believe in this and in myself.

I am going to write, create, and pursue my passions outside of the box society seems to think we should all fit into. This is my space in the world. This is my act of rebellion against a system that I never liked much anyways. This is my chance to change the path and to change the world. Maybe it fails, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe it takes a few tries,a few months, a few years. All I know is I will get up every single day prepared to change the world, take on risks, and write with the passion that is in my heart.
